I've been working on this sunroom for the last three days with no positive results.  I've been trying to connect the front edge of the slope glaze roof to a curtain wall.  Through research I found that I need to add a top mullion that will receive both the roof and the wall. I found a tutorial in AUGI for curtain walls (see attachment) done in revit 2008. In there it explains how to create a top mullion and apply it to the grid. The first problem was there is no top mullion family  in revit 2011 so I created it one from a curtain wall mullion family profile following the instructions. By the way ,another problem that I had with the instructions was that after finishing the sketch the top mullion end up in the profile family folder instead of the curtain wall mullion family like it said on the instructions.  To solve that I click on the rectangular corner mullion type , right click and created a new type called Top Mullion, changed the profile to the one I just created and say ok.  Then I placed the mulliom at the bottom of the slope glaze but it was facing the wrong direction. I tried to change it but it doesn't look anything like the instruction.  I attached the tutorial and the top mullion file so you will have a better idea of what I did.

 Thank you

When you go to the properties of that mullion you have some parameters you can control, check that
